DOING BUSINESS IN DUBAI

Dubai has grasped the attention of the whole world due to its flourishing tourism and freehold property sectors. The economic scenario has grown dramatically in the short span of under a decade and the UAE has proved to the world to be a perfect business hub.

Dubai looks East to the dynamic growth of India and China. North is the economic powerhouse of Russia. West are the established economies of Europe and the Americas. This is where the East meets West and the region is developing a unique synergy that benefits both.

Dubai International Airport is one of the busiest in the world. Transport, tourism, industry and financial services are thriving. It is the biggest re-exporting centre in the Middle East. There is a massive investment in groundbreaking infrastructure including, of course, Palm Jumeirah itself. 20 per cent of the world's cranes are currently at work across Dubai.

Dubai has a long trading history and a culture that fosters growth. There are a multitude of tax incentives for business and the Jebel Ali Free Zone and Airport Free Zones have proved so successful that it is proposed to extend the concept to other areas.
